C2605 Cutting the French Emperors Roots (1/2)
”War can break out at any time. Every day since April, the number of battles that happen will increase exponentially!”
Inside the secret fortress of Berlin, Xiao Letian was fighting with Bismark and the other researchers over every single detail of the war.
The huge oak table was over forty square meters in size, and on it was an enormous French border sand table. On top of the table, there were real mountains, rivers, and roads restored, and solid wooden statues representing the army were placed on top of the sand table.
Above the sand table, a cross-shaped iron ladder was placed on top, and a secretary in a beautiful dress was moving the chess pieces on the sand table with a long baton, occasionally placing the latest chess pieces in a designated position.
Looking up from Xiao Letian's point of view, they could easily appreciate the scenery under his skirt. But this group of Battle-Maniacs had already sunk into an even more exciting job, so even the most beautiful woman in their eyes was just a skeleton.
Pierre, who had now received the entire intelligence analysis team, kept the meeting up to date with statistics.
”Respected sirs, the latest news from Paris has been delivered. Blanqui has already arrived in Paris two days ago, and he is currently visiting various union leaders, and even went deep into the slums to chat with ordinary workers …”
”The French have sent their best spies to follow the investigation... It looks like Blanqui will not be able to escape from Paris. I just calculated that the probability of him escaping Paris this time wasn't even 4%! ”
Bismark held onto the table and stared at the French territory, all of them were slowly heading towards the northern border with their weapons ready, their expressions extremely serious.
”How is Napoleon III's reaction right now?”
Pierre flipped through the intelligence report, ”When the news of the leader surviving was spread out, the French Emperor lost control of his emotions for more than 25 minutes, and chaos broke out in the Tuileries' Palace …”
”At this moment, all of the newspapers in Europe are accusing him of being the mastermind, while French Emperor is desperately denying it. His imperial newspapers are retaliating right now …”
”However, our attacks are all over Europe, and their counterattacks are limited to those countries that are pro-French … In the long run, this public opinion battle French Emperor will become more and more vile! ”
Xiao Letian looked at the sand on the table. France is having more and more chess pieces, he said with a gloomy face. How many are there now? ”
”I'm sorry Führer, we are only concerned with setting up the French domestic legions, the overseas legions are going to prepare …”
The secretaries on top of the sand table quickly got busy, their leather shoes clattering against the iron ladder. In a short while, the blue ocean area on the sand table was filled with model battleships.
”It has been eight months since the order from the French Emperor to mobilize the foreign troops, the French side has transferred a total of 115,000 people …”
”What?” ”Only one hundred and ten thousand!” Xiao Letian looked up at the female secretary who was reporting the data in disbelief.
The female secretary knew that the underpants in her skirt were not thick. She did not know about military matters.
”The Führer! ”Don't expect anything from the administrative efficiency of the French. It's a bureaucratic excess. To be honest, I doubt even a hundred and ten thousand!”
”Those government departments have probably already counted all the soldiers that had just boarded the colony's ships! Efficiency is something that will never belong to the French. ”
Xiao Letian carefully calculated, ”Pierre... What we want is the French Emperor to take the initiative and declare war, what about your statistics from yesterday? ”
